Opportunity

Opportunity is there before us everyday. It doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor,
young or old or what color you are. It just wants your best.

Within this span

Of fleeting time

I test the marrow

In your bones

Exalting courage

Most of all

You may apply

Each early dawn

For rich or poor

I welcome them

For young and old

I am the same

Let mankind know

My door swings wide

To anyone

Who calls my name

And though I come

To offer hope

I must require

That you fullfill

One vanity

That I may know

You seek me out

With fervent will

I absolutely love the line “I test the marrow / In your bones.” That’s exactly what life is. Nice poem.

Hmmm – I must require one vanity….

I really like this. It makes you think about what that one vanity is; what you are willing to pay for a gien opportunity.

Great poem and it speaks the truth. We have to find the courage to pursue every opportunity afforded us.

Its an interesting question, whether opportunity only presents itself to those who seek it out. Thought provoking words.

Loved it!Not only was it a poem with a fabulous message but it was well written with some great imagery and flow to the wording! I agree with you, as long as you seek opportunity you will always find it,it doesn’t come knocking on your door but it is there for you to walk through as long as you want to.Excellent write, a very enjoyable and thought provoking piece!

This was unique, and excellent read, so many people don’t know that we live in the land of opportunity all you need do is take advantage.

I really enjoyed your poem. I agree that opportunities are there for us as long as we take advantage of them.

this is better than any plate full of food I have had in a long time. The messages are deep yet plain. Wonderfully put together and just the right length too.TX

You poem delivers a great message. Opportunities abound. They are everywhere and anywhere, but you gotta recognize em and grab em before they’re gone.
